RODEN'S PROFILE

Started Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening, now that it's been released on Steam. Honestly should have played it ages ago considering I contributed to its development, but that's a backlog for you.

FInished off Mass Effect 3 tonight, again. Maybe the 4th or 5th time? Never gets old. What an awesome trilogy.

Should be done with Ultima soon, only need two more missions (Kill a Lich and a a Balron) then doing the Space Ace stuff and killing Mondain and I'll be through. Thank the lord for walkthroughs, saving me weeks of time battling through dungeons trying to find random monsters.

Also pretty close to beating Grapple Dog as well. I'm halfway through what's either the final or semi-final world.

It's as unethical as tracing

well, as unethical as tracing 100,000 images as a composite at the exact same time.

So I'd say it's 100,000x more unethical than tracing.


It's sketchy AF what people are doing with it, though. And quite disappointing how quickly it's gone mainstream. This will kill entire industries (because people will largely gravitate to what's quickest, easiest, and cheapest, and nothing is quicker and easier and cheaper than stealing from thousands of artists simultaneously.)

This. But I believe people will still value art made by other people, since at the moment the input of the "soul" can't be replicated, if you get my extremely weird meaning.

You can tell when something was made with passion, basically, and when something was made by a bunch of algorithms and created solely for the end profit. Maybe the discussion will change if and when there's an AI that becomes self aware and makes it own art.

For the time being, learning that someone used AI art would make me turn off of whatever they made. I want nothing to do with it, like NFTs and such. Instant turn off.

Posting a master list to see how long it takes me to forget about it
